Notes. N is the number of sources with spectroscopic redshift in the Cosmos field from the catalogs listed in Sect. 3.2. We note that the sources from our LBT/LUCI program are not taken into account to estimate the galaxy overdensity. ⟨N⟩ is the average number of sources with spectroscopic redshift in the Cosmos field after excluding the G237 region. δgal, and σδgal are, respectively, the density contrast and significance of the galaxies in G237 in the given redshift ranges. Extent is the area projected on the sky where the galaxies in the defined redshift ranges are distributed, and Vapp the volume obtained by multiplying the extent by the distance along the line of sight given by the redshift range. C is the parameter that takes into account the redshift distortions (see text and Steidel et al. 1998). δm is the matter overdensity obtained as described in Sect. 6.1, and used in Eq. (2) to derive the z = 0 halo mass Mh(z = 0) reported in the last column. δL(zobs), and δL(z = 0) are the linear matter enhancements at the observed redshift and at z = 0, respectively. An overdensity is expected to collapse when δL reaches the collapse threshold δc = 1.686 (Percival 2005). Thus only the two substructures, and not the full structure, are expected to collapse by z = 0.
